ESPERANTO: THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
The sponsors of_a new language may^well^be assured of ad-
miration for their initiative and daring in creative power, but
they are certain, too, of a slow and uncertain progress toward
acceptance and adoption by the general public. The move-
ment in favor of Esperanto is on its way over the difficulties of
just such an uneven course, and we_at vVellesley, are fortunate
enough to have the opportunity of making its acquaintance
during this formative period. Mr. Edward K. Harvey, Secreta-
ry of the American Esperanto Association, will speak in College
Hall Chapel, on the evening^of Monday. March 19, at 7.30, when
we shall have the opportunity not only of learning of the progress
of the movement, but of hearing the language itself spoken.
The rise of such a movement is directly traceable to the con-
ditions and tendencies of our modern civilization. The devel-
opment of modern systems of world-wide diplomatic and politi-
cal relations, necessitating international correspondence and con-
ference, the growth of tar-reaching ana complex commercial
interests, create a demand for the facility of a common tongue.
The increasing numbers of workers in difterent fields of scientific
research all over the world force the individual worker to
put forth greater effort to keep apace with his fellow-workers
of other nationalities and tongues. The necessity of being in-
formed confronts the scholar with the impossibility of learning
all the languages required for the purpose.
Esperanto, thereiore, offers itself as an auxiliary medium,
a supplement to the national languages now in use, not as a new
tongue to compete with or uisplace them; and finds its use in in-
ternational meetings, commercial transactions, ana as a means
by which written contributions to art or science can be put
within the reach of co-workers not familiar with the language
of the author
The language is of comparatively recent invention, its in-
ventor, Dr. Zamenhof, a Russian physician, having published
his first pamphlet no earlier than 1887. It was well received
in Russia, and soon found supporters in Norway and Sweden.
In France it was championed Dy M. cie Beaufort, who had him-
self invented an artificial language, but abandomed it on learn-
ing of the superior advantages ot Esperanto, and threw his en-
ergies into the task of forcing the world at large to notice and
seriously consider Esperanto as the solution of the problem.
His efforts led to its wide recognition, and its reception by
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and finally England.
Lack of money and a prejudice aue to the failure of its prede-
cessor, Volapuk, were among the obstacles in its way, but able
and energetic scholars gave it their enthusiastic support. M.
Jules Borel carried on a systematic campaign in Germany,
while W. T. Stead endorses it in the columns of the Review of
Reviews in England, where thirty societies sprang up in little
less than a \rear. Such great names as Berthelot, General
Lebert, Poincare, all of the French institute; Boirac, rector of
Dijon University; Foerster, of the University of Berlin; Ost-
wald of the Univcrsitv of Leipsic; the philologist Schuchardt,
the linguist Max Muller, Count Leo Tolstoi, and many others.
Esperanto is now understood by a quarter of a million persons
and is supported by two hundred organized clubs. Esperantists
are found in every European country, as well as in Japan,
Australia, South America, Mexico, Canada, and the United
States. Books for its study are composed in twenty-two lan-
guages: twenty-five monthly jc..rn..ls re issued, while several
continental papers print occasional articles in Esperanto.
Courses for its studv arc offered in club rooms, public institutions
and commercial schools, while in England its instruction is
carried on by correspondence.
It has been put to the test in a number of practical uses with
marked success. It has been found well adapted for commer-
cial correspondence, international telegraphic communication
and advertisements. Typewriters with its alphabet, and
systems of stenography facilitate its commercial utility. It has
received oral as well as written usage. Mr. Moch, champion

of universal peace, addressed the International Peace Congress
htld last September at Luzerne in Esperanto. A supreme test
of practical value was applied at the recent congress of Esperant-
ists at Boulogne, in France, August, 1905. Twelve hundred dele-
gates from twenty-two different countries, were present and ex-
perienced no trouble in understanding all speeches and addresses.
All discussions were carried on in Esperento, while every evening
concerts were held in which the same language was employed
very successfully for singing. One evening, a farce of
Moliere's was presented by performers of seven nationalities.
An examination of the structure of the language reveals at
once its simplicity and the ingenuity of its author. Its
construction is based on two rundamental principles, the
elimination of all that is accidental in national languages, and
the retention of what is common to all. Dr. Zamenhof has
aimed to invent nothing, but to build entirely with material
already in existence. An admirably concise and succinct analy-
sis is given in the Atlantic for January, 1906, from which the
general characteristics may be derived in a short synopsis.
Sounds peculiar to a single language are eliminated, double
and mute letters are dropped, and phonetic spelling is retained
throughout. The consonant sounds remaining approximate
the majority of English consonental pronunciations, while the
vowel sounds are chiefly those of Spanish or German. Nouns,
verbs, adjectives and adverbs are differentiated by vowel end-
ings. Suffixes and prefixes are employed to denote the agent,
the instrument, abstract qualities, and negative ideas.
The principle of internationalism finds completest d monstra-
tion in the composition of the vocabulary. Roots and stems com-
mon to all languages, or common to the majority, are spelled
phonetically and modified by the terminations of the new system,
the Latin being resorted to for stems widely divergent in modern
tongues. In this way 3,000 root words serve the use of 15,000
English or French words, the simplification resulting largely from
the consistent adherance to a few simple rules, already' in par-
tial use in modern languages.
Its regularity conduces to rapid mastery of its forms and a
reading knowledge can be gained in a few hours, a few months
making its use in writing and speaking possible. Moreover,
its simplicity allows of a rapid comprehension of its underlying
principles, so that letters written in Esperanto may be sent
to persons absolutely ignorant of the language, a translation
being made with little difficulty by means of a penny "key-
book" sent with the letter.
Simplicity, efficiency, readiness of comprehension, and mu-
sical intonation bid fair to make for the success of this latest
attempt to reduce the advantages of an artificial language
within the scope of practical utility. Success to Esperanto!
May a nearer acquaintance confirm favorable first impressions.

asks that the following announcement be given publicity at
Wellesley:
The Minnesota Seaside Station on the Straits of Fuca, Van-
couver Island, opens its doors for the sixth annual session,
July 8, 1906. Owing to the low rates to the Pacific Coast,
which will be in force, this promises to be an important year
in the history of the station. Those contemplating marine
study and research are invited to write to Professor Conway
MacMillan, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, for the
illustrated announcement of the Vancouver Island Labora-
tory-Camp.

COLLEGE NEWS
FREE PRESS.
I have just read the Free Press article in a recent News, in
which one of ray contemporaries expresses her "shame that
the Legenda, that absurd and useless publication, which re-
cords, along with forced and witless merriment, the doings
of these various organizations of frivolity." was sent to the
Empress Dowager. In the first place let me suggest that the
Chinese Commission seems to have been given a very just
estimate and generous proof of the nobility and seriousness of
Wellesley, and that the glad-heartedness of American girl-
hood is as much needed by our sisters of the Orient as our
freedom to think and know. The Legenda, for this reason,
was an appropriate gift for the Empress.
Further, it seems to me the writer of that article can scarcely
have seen the 1906 publication, which is a brave effort to
make ancient history popular, and is conspicuously free from
time-honored "frivolity
And just here let me add my moral (without which no one
of us appeals to the Free Press editor.) It is right that college
women should know of the suffering in Russia, the horrors of
the Congo, and the diffictilties of supporting a drunken hus-
band and six children at the proper standard of living; but
let us remember that undergraduates are college girls and
that as alumnae they can more successfully attempt to relieve
society.- To an old grad, riot quite in her second childhood,
the danger of college life is far more that of being too serious
than of being too frivolous. Class elections, Barnswallow
plays, the awful danger of influencing Freshman opinions,
become Goliaths with whom we must needs fight half the
night (if a kind room-mate will sit up to listen to the sword-
play). So here's my moral : Let's return to the simple life, not
careless of the problems that await us, but conscious that ma-
turer vision will make us see our molehill mountains of seri-
ousness as well as of "witless merriment" in truer proportion.
II. B. W., 1903.

Some time ago there appeared in the News a protest against
the freedom and ease of our customs here at College, among
others that of going anywhere and everywhere without hats.
We grant that this may be conspicuous, even ill-bred, that
our manners in public conveyances like trollev cars may be
reprehensible: but we offer one feeble defence from our own
embarrasing experience. Returning to Wellesley by trolley
one morning, duly garbed in street suits (and hats), behaving,
so far as in us lies, like ordinary respectable citizens, we were
nevertheless honored by a persistent and comprehensive stare
from various fellow passengers that left us no room for doubt
but that we were labelled and placed in our proper class, as
college girls. There seemed to be nothing particularly critic; 1
in the gaze; we were merely looked at, and that steadily, from
West Newton to the entrance by Pomeroy, and signs of in-
creasing distress were evident among the gazers when we let
Fiske and even the West Lodge slip by. Of course, it may
have been the inevitable suit cases, but those are not peculiar
to the college species. Our own hypothesis is that we must
have the "Wellesley look," and that that indefinable something
makes us interesting to those who have it not. in much the
same way, though to a less degree, that we were interesting to
the Chinamen. y\ c. S.
III.
We have all been exchanging various opinions lately about
various examinations; but about one examination there has
been only one opinion throughout the whole college. We
often say of an examination, "Yes, it certainly was hard, but
then it was perfectly fair." In this case, however, the dictum
—and it is a rare one at Wellesley was "as hard as it could be,
and perfectly unfair — worse even than 1.-st year's Sophomore
Midyears in English." Since this opinion -'ill holds after the
excitement of Midyears has subsided, the matter may be worth
looking into further.
It is universally admitted, 1 think, that the object of the
examination is to test the knowledge of people exarrined. Now,
capacity to do original work in a subject, and the knowledge of
the principles of that subject are two very different things. The
English II Midyear examinations in 1905 and 1906 demand
not only a display of knowledge, but also the capacity to do
original work in English. In an elective course the demand is
ji St, but in a required one hardly fair In the 1906 examina-
tion, out of five questions, three demanded special ability; and
to answer them two briefs, one forensic, and a critical theme had
to be written. That the material for one brief was supplied by the
department lessens the difficulty so little that the advantage is
not worth considering. If the examination were the only means
of ascertaining whether the class could write a brief or a foren-
sic, the question would be different; but the ability of each girl
had been tested throughout the semester: and to require people
to do the hardest kind of work they have under the most trving
circumstances, is both unfair and unreasonable.
Unreasonable, because in order to attain the purpose of an
examination, the conditions under which that examination
are given have to be considered and the conditions are
incontestably trying. There is, in the first place, the mid-
year atmosphere of anxiety coupled with mental and physical
fatigue. There is, moreover, the fact that English, like music or
1 minting, requires a certain temperament, and that consequently
anyone disliking it, has a much harder time than anyone dis-
liking other required subjects. Therefore, such a student goes
into examinations considerably terrified. These conditions
nothing can alter for the better, but there is no necessity to
make them worse. Yet this is done. Ouestions that require
nothing but a grasp of the principles taught during the semester
are scattered among questions demanding special ability in
English and a rare gift for quick thought in their answers. Con-
sequently, the unfortunate student is terrorized from the start,
and is put to such an abnormal strain in her frantic attempt to
control anxiety, to think at lightning speed, and to do a great
deal of work for which she has no natural ability, that she can-
not do herself justice on the questions she really does know,
and ought to know, something about. Thus the examiners
have defeated their own end.
That there is no necessity for such ordeals was proved by the
examination in June, T905. It was extremely hard, covering
the entire courses, but there was no question that every con-
scientious student could not have answered.

CROSS COUNTRY CLUB.
Every Monday, for a few weeks, the Cross Country Club
plans to have at least two girls at the North Gate to meet any
other member of the club who may care to go for a long tramp.
These walks will not be required, nor will it be necessary to
sign for them in advance; it is hoped, however, that many of
the club may find it convenient to go. Anyone not caring to go
the whole distance proposed is advised to bring a friend, not
necessarily a member of the club, in order to be independent of
the rest of the party.
The first walk planned will be to Pegan Hill, starting from
the North Gate at 9.30 A.M., Monday, March 12.

MISS CHANLERS VISIT.
Wellesley is to have an unusual opportunity on March 10th.
Miss Chanier, President of the Woman's Municipal League of
New York Citv, will be here and will speak at 3.20 in College
Hall Chapel.
Miss Chanier represents the true American woman who is
keenly alive to present conditions, and is giving her best talents
in service to her city and , through her city, to her country. The
League of which she is President has become a forceful element
in New York politics. In all municipal affairs its opinion carries
great weight. It was due in great part to its efforts, that Mr.
Jerome was re-elected last fall.
Miss Chanier is also closelv connected with the Red Cross
Society and visited Cuba, Porto Rico andg the? Philippines
during the late war.
Miss Chanier is especially anxious to talk to us here at Welles-
ley, for her great desire is to interest college girls in civic life and
show them how much their interest and efforts may do to im-
prove it. S. E. E.
